"The Forty-Niners" is a prequel to Alan Moore's "Top Ten" series and it sets the plot for the creation of Neopolis and its special police force. Neopolis is a post WW2 futuristic city where all the super heroes, freaks and societies misfits are being housed. It is a melting pot of humanity plagued by Nazi scientists and mafia like Vampires. Moore does an excellent job here of developing the characters and exploring social issues whilst still driving the story forward with exciting plots and subplots.


The recently released state budget for Uttar Pradesh allocated Rs. 3488 crores towards NREGA.
To lend that figure some meaning and gravitas, we must consider the state's allocation of funds towards the Kumbh mela, a recently-concluded religious affair featuring ritual baths and political shenanigans – upwards of 4200 crores.
In Kumhedi, a foregone village nestled in Lalitpur district in Uttar Pradesh, Vinita, a Kumhedi resident bickers, "We don't have any options for work here, so we have to migrate." Kumhedi has seen steady out-migration over the years, with as many as 50 families who have now migrated out, all in search of work.
As per the Economic Survey of India 2016-17, there are over a hundred million migrant workers in India, of which most are circular migrants. The International Organization for Migration found that in 2015, 35 lakh adults in India were amidst migration plans, while 13 lakh were actively prepping for it. Employment remains the central motivation for migration — the 2011 Census data shows that 3 crore of the 14 crore male migrants left their last place of residence in search of work. According to the latest data, there will be 18.9 million jobless people in India in 2019.
While our consistent reporting on migration shows that the crisis has been building up over decades in Bundelkhand, an emptying Kumhedi is one of a long line of villages that have lost swathes of their populations to migration in a district that is one of the poorest and most under-developed in the region. According to Devendra Pratap Sinha Parmar, the head of the block that Kumhedi falls under in Mahrauni, "The government doesn't want anyone to migrate." Which is why there are specific schemes.
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act or NREGA, is of course, one that comes to mind foremost. Launched in 2006 by the then-ruling UPA government as a panacea to tackle rural unemployment – at the heart of the migration crisis – NREGA promises employment within 15 days to any adult who applies for employment in rural India, with a guarantee of at least 100 days of unskilled labour employment. The guidelines also state that if employment is not provided through the scheme, an unemployment allowance has to be paid. The scheme rests on the issuing, procurement and processing of the job card – In Kumhedi, we learn that 655 job cards have been issued under NREGA. However, of the 1105 total workers from this village, only 549 are active – an indication, most likely of the populace that has migrated. In 2017-2018, an average of 30.87 days of employment was provided to each household; the state average is 37.35 days. Even among the active workers, only 259 individuals were employed through NREGA in the same year; only three households actually finished 100 days of employment.
Anita, another villager, outlined her expenses for her three sons in school: "The annual expense isn't less than Rs. 20,000–for school, books, clothes, everything. We spend Rs. 20,000-25,000 every year." But the minimum wage rate in UP is only Rs. 175 per day, and with the average of a month's employment every year, that is only a total income of Rs. 5250.
And while the assurance finds echoes in the new norms around minimum wage proposed by a committee set up to construct national minimum wage, the fact that the NREGA state budget for this year is less than the Kumbh budget, is not the kind of news the residents of Kumhedi would find reason to cheer.
For now, until the future they can envision, migration is the only option.

Russian Music-Making Writ Large from Dmitriev and the St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra
21/10/2017 18/10/2017 by Young-Jin Hur
United Kingdom Tchaikovsky & Rachmaninov: Peter Donohoe (piano); St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra / Alexander Dmitriev. Cadogan Hall, London, 16.10.2017. (Y-JH)
Tchaikovsky – Romeo & Juliet Overture; Symphony No.6 (Pathétique)
Rachmaninov – Piano Concerto No.4
In a world where the term maestro is fast becoming a formulaic mannerism as conductors prefer short-termed long-distance relationships with orchestras, it is a major event to witness an experienced conductor who has collaborated with an orchestra for more than 40 years – as Alexander Dmitriev has done with the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra. The evening's performance was no music-making coming from one afternoon's rehearsal.
If there is such thing as a 'Russian' sound, there was no question that this was what Dmitriev cultivated in his band. The strings, in their unadorned and sharp-edged zing, played in awe-inspiring discipline. The regimented cellos and double basses, always gritty yet never losing clarity for each note, were particularly gripping. The brass blared with an exotic flair of confidence, while the protruding woodwinds were unbuttoned and determined. The personality of the orchestral contour alone left an indelible impression.
Serendipitously, the blazing and unsubtle acoustics of Cadogan Hall befitted the un-blunted orchestral attacks of Tchaikovsky's Overture-fantasy Romeo and Juliet. The 'love' theme, too, blossomed sumptuously under Dmitriev's baton, yet any notion of sentimentality was controlled by the sheer discipline and sharpness of playing. The timpani-driven final 'death scene' – before the return of the chorale-like introductory theme – had a gutsy quality to it, and was more fateful than shocking.
If Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.4 may not be the most popular work in the repertoire, with the composer himself having shown much doubt about it, there was little doubt of the quality of the performance. The poignantly repetitive Largo was played with much warmth from the experienced Peter Donohoe, but the highlight was in the Allegro vivace, which started abruptly with minimum break. The virtuosity of the pianist matched the scintillation of the orchestra; the impeccable chemistry was uplifting, as it knitted the various fragmentary episodes of the work together.
These impressive performances set the tone for Tchaikovsky's 'Pathétique' Symphony. If the beginning of the symphony was hopelessly shaky as the violas continued their search for unity and tone facing this soul-searching masterpiece, Dmitriev's engine was back in full power by the introduction of the lyrical second theme. Even in the most lyrical of melodies, Dmitriev did not aim for the secularity of immediate warmth and pleasure – always reigning was a cold stark beauty, and even the small number of brass blunders felt part of the broken landscape the composer must have meandered in the time of this troubled composition. If the Allegro molto vivace usually invites applause, the concluding moments of the movement tonight had an element of fright more than excitement, driven by the vehement troop of percussion and bass. All this was achieved with a small raise of the arm by the conductor. Yet clapping was not easy, either, after the Adagio lamentoso. Deep under the abyss of Tchaikovsky's world, the claps were never conjoined with a sense of delight or relief even. Recording and live performances put together, this was as intense a performance the symphony could get.
After the initial applause, Dmitriev's choice to follow up the symphony with the second movement of J.S. Bach's Orchestral Suite No.3 in D major as an encore demonstrated Tchaikovsky was not the only Russian in the hall with a feel for genuine musical storytelling. The strings played with a newfound vibrato and tenderness (in my notes, I wrote: "Can they also play beautifully? YES! Emphatically, YES!"), and the audiences could for the first time in tonight's concert have a sense of inundated consolation. The Hungarian Dance No.1 by Brahms that followed could have been left out, yet the inclusion did in no way diminish the smiles that had already swept across the hall.
Throughout the performances this evening, rubatos were kept to a minimum, and there were no eccentricities in tempo choice. Dmitriev demonstrated that discipline and intensity of playing alone, without attempts for interpretation, was sufficient to generate a great performance. And if the St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra may only be the third largest orchestra by reputation in that city, the audiences experienced what a maestro can do – and is.

Therefore, this study suggests an important role of EYA2 in ovarian cancer and its potential application as a therapeutic target .
Due to different translation start sites on the four unique transcripts, two isoforms of EYA2 protein (one previously identified and one novel) could be generated in neuroblastoma cells, but the sole EYA2 transcript expressed in the eye can only encode the novel isoform .
A highly conserved 271-amino acid C-terminal region was also found in the products of two other human genes (EYA2 and EYA3), demonstrating the existence of a novel gene family .
Synergistic regulation of vertebrate muscle development by Dach2, Eya2, and Six1, homologs of genes required for Drosophila eye formation .
EYA2 was amplified in 14.8% of ovarian carcinomas, as detected by array-based comparative genomic hybridization (n = 88) .
Activated Galpha(z) and Galpha(i2) prevent Eya2 translocation and inhibit Six/Eya2-mediated activation of a reporter gene controlled through the MEF3/TATA promoter .
In addition, Eya2 impinged on G protein-mediated signaling, as evidenced by its ability to relieve Galphai2-mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase .
Finally, the alternative EYA2 transcripts have dissimilar numbers of upstream open reading frames in their 5'-untranslated regions .
Interestingly, primary human MSC were found to upregulate a number of genes important for embryogenesis such as distal-less homeo box 5, Eyes absent homolog 2, inhibitor of DNA binding 3, and LIM protein .
Interestingly, EYA2 was expressed in several neuroblastoma cell lines as four distinct transcripts having alternative 5'-ends, whereas only one EYA2 transcript was expressed in the normal human eye .
EYA2 was found to function as transcriptional activator in ovarian cancer cells by Gal4 assay and to promote tumor growth in vivo in xenograft models .
EYA2 mRNA was found to be up-regulated in ovarian cancer by real-time reverse transcription-PCR, whereas its protein product was detected in 93.6% of ovarian cancer specimens by immunohistochemistry (n = 140) .
The gene for eyes absent 2 (EYA2) was screened for mutations by direct automated sequencing and Southern blot analysis .


After graduating from MHS, I attended Luther in Decorah. I graduated in 1983 and moved to St. Paul in 1984. I bounced around for a few years in different jobs until I found that volunteering at a local high school brought some sense of purpose to my life. I went back to get my Masters in teaching in 1990 and graduated again in 1992. I took my first teaching job in the fall of 1992 at White Bear Lake High School just north of St. Paul and have been there ever since. I am finishing my 17th year of teaching. I met my wife, Kara, in White Bear where she is a middle school teacher. Life in Minnesota is good although the winters are getting more difficult to take as we grow older. No kids but two dogs keep us very busy.
The house with no walls comes to mind. You may need to ask Mark Wuest about that one.
Kirk Johnson has a birthday today.

Q: Splitting whole text to words using one regex I am looking for solution of problem. I need to create a kind of method which creates list of words and just words, for any given text, including non-English letters and special characters. I searched a lot and i was reading documentation here, but any of this doesn't work perfectly for me. One of the best is this one:
String line = "    W metal, w liczbę, w trupie ciało, -"
String[] words = line.split("\\P{javaLetter}+");
    for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
        if (!words[i].equals("")) {  // I don't want to check everytime
            anotherList.add(word[i].toLowerCase())
        }
    }
}

but the result is:
["", "W", "metal", "w", "liczbę", "w", "trupie", "ciało"]

This spaces at the beginning of String breaks down my regex.
Which is the correct regex for making words in any language using latin alphabet (don't care about apostrophes in English words)?

A: You can use the opposite approach - matching:
List<String> words = new ArrayList<>();
String line = "    W metal, w liczbę, w trupie ciało, -";
Matcher m = Pattern.compile("\\p{L}+").matcher(line);
while (m.find()) {
    words.add(m.group());
}
System.out.println(words); // => [W, metal, w, liczbę, w, trupie, ciało]

See the IDEONE demo. The \\p{L}+ will match 1+ any Unicode letters.
There is a way to use splitting approach, but we need to pre-process the input string first:
String line = "    W metal, w liczbę, w trupie ciało, -";
String[] words = line.replaceFirst("^\\P{L}+", "").split("\\P{L}+");
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(words));

See another IDEONE demo
The .replaceFirst("^\\P{L}+", "") will remove all non-letter symbols from the beginning of the string, thus, leaving no empty elements in the split array.

A: Assuming you want the result of words to be the same as anotherList but without post-processing the results in a loop. How about some preprocessing then?
String line = "    W  metal,  w  liczbę,   w  trupie ciało, -";
String[] words = line.trim().toLowerCase().split("\\P{javaLetter}+");
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(words));

Result: [w, metal, w, liczbę, w, trupie, ciało]

A: First the single upper quote in its variations I have added. Then all letters, and zero-width accents which combine with the letters.
String[] rawWords = line.trim().split("(?U)[^\\p{L}\\p{M}'\u0060\u00b4\u2017]");

Look in the javadoc of Pattern for the regex.
This will not prevent a preceding empty word, if the line does not start with a word. That could be replaced too, but a check would suffice.
Another problem is that every single quote is thought to be a part of a word.
This can be done by removing all leading and trailing sequences of quotes of words.
I would not try to make one single regex though that is certainly possible for the quote problem.
One simplification is the usage of Unicode text normalization. "ŝ" could be one char \u0150 or two chars c plus a zero-width ^. This can be done with the class java.text.Normalizer. Then \\p{M} could no longer be needed if you use the combined form.
Also all those single-quotes could be replaced by say the apostrophe '.
(For natural language processing JNLP might be of interest.)

Shipping is only six clams. I can save three by checking out, now. Nope. My brain doesn't work that way.
I decided to go through my Loves List and see if I had anything on it that would do the trick. There were a couple of items. I went back and forth between them and settled on Shiseido Facial Cotton. I have read and seen on YouTube glowing reviews of this cotton. And, at just under ten dollars for 165 generously sized, exquisitely soft rectangles, I thought, why not? I tossed it into my cart.
I figured that I could use them, compare them to my favorite, perfectly nice drugstore cotton rounds, do a post, enjoy them then go back to my old faithfuls and be done with it.
The first thing I noticed upon receiving and opening my package of Shiseido Facial Cotton was just how incredibly soft the surface of the cotton is. And when I say soft, I mean soft. Soft, smooth and silk like in texture. There is absolutely no catch or scratch. Just heavenly softness. The next thing I noticed is the size. These rectangles are generously sized. They are a good bit larger than my favorite drugstore cotton rounds. They are also a bit thicker, more plush.
As drugstore cotton rounds go, the Studio 35 from Walgreen's are very good. They are organic cotton and, until I experienced the Shiseido, I thought, very soft and nice for removing eye makeup and applying various lotions and potions to my face.
I am not exaggerating when I say that there is simply no comparison. You can see the difference in my photograph. The round is slightly rougher, the Shiseido, smoother.
Size: The Shiseido is larger and slightly thicker. Construction: The Shiseido is sturdier and holds together better and there is less shedding of fibers as it is being used. Feel: This is where the rubber meets the road, gentle reader. I was perfectly happy with my old cotton rounds. I thought that they were very soft and perfectly nice until I got my hands on Shiseido Facial Cotton. Now, I know what soft facial cotton really feels like. As I said, there really is no comparison.
I have a backstock of the Studio 35 Organic Cotton Rounds that I had stocked up on when they were on sale. They have been transferred to my nail supplies drawer for polish removal. I used the Shiesido cotton once and that was it. I am done with the other as far as my face is concerned.
I know that at ten dollars a pack, Shiseido Facial Cotton is hardly cheap but I look at it this way... The Studio 35 rounds are about four dollars and change (in my area) for a tube pack of 80. Two tubes is 160, eight-nine dollars. The Shiseido is 165 for ten dollars. Only a dollar or so more for five more exquisitely soft rectangles. And... Since I needed to add the package to get free shipping, if you deduct the six dollars that the shipping would have cost me, the whole glorious package was really only about four dollars.
Yeah. Logic and Math brought to you by Erika, your friendly neighborhood beauty blogger. Don't try to understand it. Don't fight it. Just accept, embrace and roll with it. It's easier that way.
Oh! There is one other great reason to use the Shiseido Facial Cotton for removing my eye makeup. Not only is it softer and more luxurious on my delicate flower face, on average, I only need one to remove all of my eye makeup where I usually need two of my my drugstore rounds. So, I'm actualy using fewer cottons, each time.
Convinced? Want to try Shiseido Facial Cotton? You can get it on the Sephora website. Nordstrom website (I think in store?) and other places/sites that carry Shiseido.
Do you use Shiseido Facial Cotton? Are you convinced, as I have become that it is worth a little more? That the exquisite softness is an affordable little luxury we all deserve? Are you convinced that I am certifiable? Please do tell.
I've always heard great things about the Shiseido facial cotton and really need to get some to try out now. I've always found the generic cotton pads to leave lint on my eyes when I'm removing eye makeup so these sounds like something so much better.
Well they aren´t the cheapest ones, but after your review I might give them a try.
That math is BRILLIANT. Brilliant I say! I would totally buy these if it weren't for my giving up on makeup removers. If you want some more creative math, ask me how I justify my Tatcha oil cleanser. That one's a trip. Hahaha!
Ok, you may have sold me! I think I need to try this. And your shipping logic is exactly like mine. Why pay for shipping when I can get another product and free shipping? So what if I'm actually paying a little more, if I'm getting something for it... yeah, I've been totally brainwashed by the free shipping marketing scheme.
I use the ones I get at Walgreens or ulta.
I used to love the Walgreen's Studio 35 Organic Cotton Rounds. I thought that they were sooo soft. Then I tried these. LOL Uh-oh!
I have found peace in acceptance. :P LOL I use one of these with remover to take off my eye makeup because wipes don't do a good job at that and irritate my eyes. Then I use my wipes to cleanse the rest of my face.
You don't need to throw maths at me, Erika. I'm on your side. Although, organic is kind of a big deal to me for the environmental reason so if the Shiseido ones were organic too I would feel better about it. But still, you don't need to give me excuses because I totally understand the need for luxury.
I personally LOVE this cotton. I haven't bought it in a while but I always throw a pack in my cart when shopping on Sephora and seeking free shipping but don't quite meet the minimum.
It's a good way to fill that in. Fo shizz.
When I worked at Saks ladies bought these in bulk! They are the business!
I love these, thanks for reminding me about them!

Chelsea Latest: Fernando Torres ON, David Luiz OFF
in Transfer News January 28, 2011	2 Comments
Chelsea have made an official bid of £35 million for Fernando Torres in a deal that will in no doubt, heat up in the next few days as the deadline for the January transfer window 2011 approaches. The opening of the cheque book by Roman Abramovich seems to have been finally confirmed after Chelsea made this mega bid earlier today. Fernando Torres has been one player of great interest to Carlo Ancelotti ever since he took over at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea had a £50 million bid rejected in the summer. Chelsea looked to have put an end to that
transfer for some time, but they have once again reignited their interest in Torres after David Luiz's reported move to Stamford Bridge fell through.
Benfica today confirmed that they have failed to come to terms with Chelsea and the reported £26 million move for David Luiz is off. Chelsea seem to have reacted to the news very quickly after they shifted their attention from signing a defender to going for a centre forward. I said yesterday that signing a defender will not change Chelsea's status in the title race, while a striker would be of massive help. It seems that either Roman Abramovich or Carlo Ancelotti has read my blog and decided to go for Fernando Torres. A few weeks ago signing Fernando Torres for £35 million would have seemed absurd, but four goals in three games have reignited the spark in him. He is now probably the same player that he was a few years ago when he arrived at Liverpool.
There are rumours that Torres has a £50 million buyout clause in his contract and with only three days to go before the end of this transfer window, Chelsea could well possibly increase the bid. Fernando Torres also looks to be interested in moving to Chelsea after he reportedly asked Liverpool to consider the offer from Chelsea. Liverpool are also trying to sign Luis Suarez from Ajax for a deal believed to be around £25 million. It could possibly trigger them to let Torres leave in order to recoup that money. Signing Torres at this stage of the season might do some damage to the morale of Didier Drogba or Nicolas Anelka, but it will certainly boost our title chances massively.
*UPDATE* Chelsea Have Signed Fernando Torres.

Trump Denies Claims He Planned Coup After 2020 US Election
Latin America News Headlines
A new book by two Washington Post reporters, detailing the last year of Trump's presidency, has made explosive claims that military top brass feared the president could instigate a coup if he lost the 2020 presidential race.
Donald denies the Coup Allegations image Reuters
by Henry Batyaev
Former US President Donald Trump has rejected fresh allegations that he planned a coup in the US if the 2020 presidential election went in Joe Biden's favour.
"Despite massive Voter Fraud and Irregularities during the 2020 Presidential Election Scam, that we are now seeing play out in very big and important States, I never threatened, or spoke about, to anyone, a coup of our Government," the former president wrote on Telegram.
Trump mocked the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, who reportedly made the allegations. He said that Milley would be the last person he would stage a coup with if he ever wanted to go through with it, although emphasising that he has never had such intentions as he is "not into coups".
CNN earlier published excerpts from the forthcoming book 'I Alone Can Fix It', by Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, which claimed that Milley and other top rank military officials made informal plans to oppose attempts by Trump and his allies to stage a coup.
"They may try, but they're not going to f****** succeed," Milley reportedly told officers.
The 45th US President has been outspoken in his criticism of the presidential vote results that he believed were "stolen from him".

So the issue here is that they're afraid a vote to extend tax cuts will be turned into a vote to raise taxes, and thereby into a vote to raise taxes on the middle class. Okay, I kind of get that — this presumes massive communicatory incompetence by these Democrats, but that may be a fair assumption. So why not just hold two different votes? They can vote for both the universal tax cuts and the upper-class-only tax cuts. If both bills pass, Obama can sign the first and veto the second. If Republicans block the universal tax cuts, Democrats can make that their campaign issue.
Or, better yet, a vote on the middle-class-only cuts followed by a vote on the upper-only cuts. Either way, though, I assume this is too easy a solution and doesn't work because there's not enough time to schedule two votes? Or the Blue Dogs don't want two votes? Or something. Not sure what, though.

TJ's summer break was interrupted when he started having seizures. When the new school year began at Laura S. Ward Elementary in Humboldt Park, the seventh grader lived in fear that a seizure could strike at any moment. This anxiety caused him to give up the sports he loved, like basketball. Seeking comfort and a safe place, he frequently wandered in to Erie Westside Health Center, one of Erie Family Health Centers' five Chicago Public School-based locations.
The nursing staff at Erie was concerned about TJ. They consulted neurologists and helped his parents schedule MRIs and other necessary testing. Test results revealed the source of TJ's seizures: a 2.5 centimeter brain tumor.
This is devastating news for any family to face. Thankfully, TJ's tumor was benign, and surgery successfully removed it. TJ was able to return to the seventh grade two months later.
Erie's doctors were just down the hall from TJ's classroom when he needed follow-up care. When the fear of being hit in the head near his incision site gave TJ anxiety, Erie's behavioral health therapist was steps away from the gym and ready to assist with coping strategies. Today TJ is now free of seizures, full of confidence and back on the basketball court.
Like Erie Westside at Ward Elementary, each of Erie's 13 health centers is located in an area that lacks medical resources for those in financial need. Before they found Erie, our patients faced barriers to health care like poverty, lack of insurance, geographic inaccessibility, inflexible hours, and language differences. Before they found Erie, many of our patients worried they had nowhere to go.
Your contribution ensures that Erie's services will remain accessible and affordable for anyone who needs them. This holiday season, give kids like TJ the gift of a safe place, peace of mind, and hope for a healthier future.

Oh, wait...no, it's actually just The Graph, officially returning for the third go-around.
I know, I know; you're looking at this and saying "How the hell is he getting 230,000 nationally when he's only confirmed around 8,700?"
Simple. In fact, as I explained earlier today, it's entirely possible that the national total is much higher than 230K already--it could potentially be up to as high as 800,000 or more already. Here's a simplified explanation:
8,500 of those 8,700 come from Maryland over the first 3 days of this week. Maryland enrolled around 120,000 people during open enrollment last year...which just happens to be roughly 1% of total enrollments nationally.
Now, there's absolutely no way of knowing whether Maryland is representative (that is, if it's proportionate nationally), but if it is, it suggests that around 100x as many people have already selected private policies via HealthCare.gov and the other state exchanges...or up to 850,000 people.
As I also noted earlier today, based on HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell's tweet from the other day, there have already been at least 250K applications submitted to HC.gov, and could be as many as 585K nationally as of today.
With that in mind, my 230K QHP selection estimate looks downright conservative.
Also note that a good 90% or so of these early enrollees are likely to be current enrollees simply renewing their existing policies, so it's not really that surprising when you think about it.
Anyway, we'll see...

81. 'We're all going to die anyways'
Doomsday Character making the decisions for me.
Once that an apparent 'choice' is made and you decide to walk it: there's no turning back. You face the consequences because, you decided to walk it for yourself.
Here I expose how I started creating excuses to not be absolutely self-directive in my career choice due to and because of still holding beliefs about the future, and specifically, 2012. I have exposed this point in the 2012 Death and Destruction post – however, this time is to expose the specific self-talk I used in relation to my career as a way to not have to actually direct myself to create a stable and self-directive future within the world system. I instead used the 'art career' as a way to only 'get by' in what I thought was 'in the meantime' of some major catastrophe/ end of the world scenario would take place.
I am writing this here, middle of 2012 and the sheer look at the backchat that I held for such a long time about 2012 as 'the End' seems laughable, however I did use it in 'real life' to make decisions. I mean, how far can we lead ourselves to when existing as Hope and in a general sense of uselessness to see no point in being/ becoming absolutely self-directive and self-responsible, just because of thinking that 'I am going to die anyways.'
Let's look at this character
Pattern: Future projection based on a belief of 'the end of the world' used as a means to not take absolute self-responsibility and self direction for myself toward a best for all outcome.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to use the year 2012 as an excuse to study something that I could 'at least' have some fun with while waiting for 'the world to end'
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to make decisions in my life based on what I thought was going to be 'the end of the world' and it matching it with it being 'the last year of my career at school' wherein I thought that the world was going to be in severe problems/ the shit would be extremely hitting the fan by 'then'/now, and that there was no point in "killing myself" to study a career to have a 'promissory future' of success and money, if we were all going to die anyways.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to base my entire life upon a belief of 'the end,' and make decisions according to what I believed was 'a certainty,' without realizing that I was not even aware of myself breathing and that I cannot even take the next breath for granted – thus I realize how massively deluded I was and how I programmed myself from a very young age to only 'live up to' the very last year of 'the end of the world' as 2012.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to make this decision the day that I watched all the conspiracy theories and the end of days prophecies in Discovery Channel when I was around 9 years old, and from that moment on imprint this belief within me as a certainty, which is how I built my fascination for 'death and destruction' as a certainty in this world, becoming the character that gets a kick out of everything that points out to 'death and destruction,' just because of this validating and reinforcing my belief on 2012 being 'the end of the world,' validating my excuses and justifications to not walk a life that will 'last for long' anyways.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to hold the backchat 'Why should I 'kill myself' within walking some extremely difficult career to secure a future if we are all going to die anyways?' and accordingly make decisions in my life, believing that I was really living 'the last days.'
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to make the type of art that would depict the belief of 'the end of days' simply because I could not see any other future for the Earth, without realizing that in doing so, I was already giving up and seeing 'no way out' – never realizing how I was in fact making essential decisions within my life based on a lie/belief that I had in no way a proof or certainty of. And, even if it was 'real' in such case, the single decision to find the way to make the 'least effort' was absolutely unacceptable as within this starting point of seeing everything in the future as 'useless,' I was already dooming my decision to fail, because I was not directing myself within the starting point of living/ directing myself to support myself to live, but I made the decision from the 'doomsday character' that was only getting ready to die.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to hold the backchat 'At least I will study that which 'I' wanted to study' which is the spitefulness that I based my entire decision of studying art upon, not realizing that the backlash of me making decisions based on spitefulness – such as going 'against the tide' as I've described previously – and wanting to 'escape the system'– would eventually hit back to me, because it was never an informed decision, but more of an infatuation-based decision which implies that, just like when you get yourself in a relationship based on the idea of love, I got into art school while 'being in love' with art, but not really considering the practicality of me walking it as an actual career throughout my life.
Within this, I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to make decisions in life based on preference/ like and infatuation leading to an obsession that I would justify and excuse, in every possible way, just like a religious person defending their faith – which is how I would shut off anyone sharing further perspectives about me 'studying art' and what I had to consider in practical living reality, but because I was so blinded by my desire, I did not hear and went for it by mere desire to fulfill my dream.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to take 'my career' as 'my battle won against the system' which implied my own family, the expectations that I believed and perceived everyone had about me studying some type of scientific/ mathematical career with a bright future ahead – but instead in my desire to 'spite everyone's expectations on me,' I went for that which I thought would not be so consuming and draining to go through, believing that 'my mission in life was something greater,' and that there was no career for that. Besides of justifying this career choice in an almost imminent end of the world scenario that I believed was going to happen in 2012.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to even plan my future based on only having 6 years left of life, when I began my career, which reveals to what extent I was possessed by belief s and ideas of "the end of the world," speaking self-righteously about it with people almost as if I had seen it for myself coming.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to, within this apparent 'certainty,' also hold the fear of 'What if nothing happens?' which I would immediately hide and suppress by continuing talking myself into the 'doomsday scenario,' so that I did not have to face my reality, my choices in life and the decisions I had made based on a blatant belief, immediately talking myself into the next greatest way to 'suppress' the actual self-responsible realization with 'Then, I'll find a way' which is how I tend to lead my life based on a 'miracle-based future,' wherein I expect things to 'happen' to me instead of me being the directive principle in every moment of my existence.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to become the character and pattern of 'leaving things just be' and within that, abdicating all my self-responsible directions in life to a consequential outflow that I had 'faith' was already 'laid out for me in a positive manner,' which was all pretty much based on beliefs in life paths, reincarnation, astrology and everything that I could use to see myself as a pattern that had a certain future of success.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to justify my decision in life because of not seeing myself in 'survival mode' wherein I would use the backchat 'It's not like I'm going to starve to death or something' as a way to not worry about myself and my future, just because of using my family/ parents as a 'backup' in financial terms, wherein I believed that 'if everything goes wrong = I at least have my parents to back me up for it
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to exist in a laxity about the future based on me not being existing in a survival mode, wherein money is 'not a problem' and believing that no matter what, I would always have someone to support me – this I used to validate my career choice as 'acceptable,' because of not having to worry if I didn't make it, because I would not apparently ever end up with no money at all, just because of trusting that I would always be supported by my family.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to abdicate my own self-responsibility in life toward my parents/ family being this 'security' in financial terms, wherein I knew that it would not matter if I was not 'immediately successful,' but that I would 'make it somehow' which was me projecting myself into the future as Hope, as 'hoping' that I would somehow 'put my shit together and hit the jackpot' in the artworld.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to hold the backchat 'Why should I even project myself in a future and plan it out if we are all going to die anyways' – which is the perfect excuse that I used to not have to be self-directive in every single step and decision I took in life, leaving it all to an imminent future that I would then have to simply 'cope with,' without really considering the consequential outflow of my decisions and the future as to realizing what can I do/ how can I practically direct myself to place myself in a position in the world system wherein I can ensure I can support myself no matter what.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to think that 'I'd rather 'live in the moment and let all the woes of the future behind' which was just me talking to myself into a state of laxity about my life, my decisions, my career and future based on this belief of 'there's nothing we can do, the end is imminent' which was a statement of 'I am only waiting to die' which is exactly how I was living in the past, based on beliefs and ideas of 'the end of the world,' but also for the experience of finally 'resting in peace' from this world, as the final dot that I connected the belief of death to sentence ourselves to.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see and realize how this 'desire to die' and for everything to end was also a character so that I didn't have to be actually directing myself to construct a platform and foundation for myself and my future, but instead simply become this person that 'surrenders to whatever comes,' which is how spirituality influenced my life without me even being aware of it.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to 'surrender' to the future by thinking that 'There's nothing I can do to stop it (the end) if it's already written how it ill be" which became a comfortable thought I could resort to whenever fear, anxiety and nervousness about myself and my future would emerge.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to think and believe that I should rather 'enjoy life and live to the fullest in the time left' which is how I allowed myself to go deep into pointless habits and a general self-deprecation toward myself, the world and my own relationships that were based on the support of this view on the world, so that I would not have to worry about actually considering solutions to myself, the world as myself and stand up from such doomsday scenario playing in my head; Instead I used people, images, beliefs and the witnessing of reality as a way to confirm that 'I was right about the end of the world' and that it was visible at plain sight we were on our way toward it.
I realize that even till this day, the atrocities, abuse and absolute mayhem we Are witnessing in the world are still linked to my belief of 'the world is gonna end soon' which I have stopped, but has remained as a way to 'hinder' my ability to see myself in the future, just because of thinking that this world is way too fucked up to be corrected. Thus I realize that within seeing 'the world' as a big massive self-destructive picture, I get this anxiety and hopelessness experience toward it which is the character that I have played throughout my life in order to 'give up' before even starting in walking myself as being the solution that we require in this world.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to believe that 'at least art was a cool past-time for my 'last days' lol, which is how I would talk myself into convincing me that I had made the right choice because everything was going to 'go to hell' anyways, yet also believe that in the end, everything would always be 'just fine,' so that I would make of 'the end' this nice picture in my head instead of imagining all the suffering that would ensue with it.
I forgive myself that I accepted and allowed myself to become the epitome of laxity and uselessness toward myself as my own life, my career choice, my decisions, my relationships wherein all that I was supporting was the 'doomsday character' as a way to simply get-by the last days of Earth, envisioning myself spending my 'last days' in a happy-future-projected artistic outcome instead of 'killing myself' in some 'serious career' which I is how I had defined any other non artistic career to be.
I realize that all decisions based on a belief were meant to end up failing because they were never based on the consideration of what is best for all life, what is best for myself, how do I really want to live and experience myself in the world wherein I am not pursuing a dream, but an actual self-development process that could lead me to become the solution that I saw this world required. I accepted and allowed myself to get lost in beliefs and be consumed by actual fears of having to face myself and my future, justifying my laxity with an 'end of the world' scenario that obviously is and will not happen, which is how I am walking the process of taking the 'wheel' of my life for the very first time, ensuring that every decision I make is based on the consideration of that which I see will be beneficial for all equally, wherein I can really see myself doing something that is of support to establish a world in Equality as Life.
Fire Burns Me Down (2004)
Self Corrective Statements:
When and as I see myself going into a 'laxity' and 'uselessness' mode about myself and my future, I stop and I breathe. I realize that this is the consequence of me having based my life on a belief of 'the end of the world' wherein nothing would 'really matter.' Thus I direct myself to ensure that I walk the moment asserting myself as that which I am willing to be/ live as in every moment that I take responsibility for what I say, do and think within the consideration of what I participate in being directed to an outcome that is supportive for myself and others to live.
When and as I see myself going into a future projection of this world being 'doomed' -I stop and I breathe – I realize the projection for the comfortable lie that I used to hold as to justify my apparent 'inability' to direct myself effectively in the world system – thus I take self-responsibility to face the moment that I am here and stop any mind-shift and continue breathing to make practical decisions based on the point that I am facing within my world and reality.
When and as I see myself thinking that 'something will sort itself out in the future,' I stop and I breathe. I realize that I've used this thinking pattern as a way to not have to practically and physically direct myself to walk the steps necessary to walk something into completion. This implies that I ensure I walk point by point of one single future-projected plan by taking all aspects and participants into consideration based on the principle of what is best for all, wherein I ensure my participation is stemming from the actual self-correction of taking self-responsibility for my life and that of others as myself.
When and as I see myself using the excuse of 'we're all going to die anyways' I stop and I breathe. I realize that this thinking pattern is a way for me to 'step out 'of my immediate responsibility from whatever I am facing in that moment. Thus I direct myself to instead ensure that every moment that I am here, I breathe and I direct myself within an understanding that living is every moment of breath here and not some 'achievement' to get to far away in the future. Thus I take responsibility for myself in the moment and ensure I make all decisions based on creating a life for myself and others as what's best for all in a physical possibility.
When and as I see myself accessing a desire to 'die' whenever I face a seemingly impossible point in my life, I stop and I breathe. I realize that death in my mind is equal to giving up, which is just a tantrum-based character that I've used as a way to justify my actual lack of self-direction in everything I do wherein Death is a comfortable belief of 'resting in peace' so that I don't have practically learn how to live and become self-directive in my world. Thus I ensure that I direct myself in every breath to live here, moment by moment integrating myself as the physical that is and directs itself to a best for all existence.
When and as I see myself believing that I will always have some 'support' by family as a way to not take responsibility for myself, I stop and I breathe. I realize the comfort of such belief/ idea being used by me to not take responsibility for my life. Thus I ensure that I stand for and by myself and my own means to not depend on someone else to 'have a secured life' in my reality.
When and as I see my entire life being seemingly 'pointless' and 'meaningless' – I stop and I breathe – I realize that this is the most common excuse to not take responsibility for myself. I realize that I am here, I am not going anywhere and that what I must do is support myself to establish myself here as life, self-directive, ensuring that every decision made, every word spoken, every thought is self-directed to walk the necessary process to establish a change within me and the world that leads to a best for all outcome, wherein I realize that all excuses are only fears and limitations that have no place to exist in and as who I am as breath.

ANTY! // Rep For Bein' Rude: A Track By Track Guide By The Man Himself!
Dec 11, 2020 / WORDS David James Young / The Anty Affliction
"I mean, shit, it wasn't great was it?"
MORE: BRING ME THE HORIZON: The Tide Is Turning // KILLER BE KILLED: Reluctant Heroes // MR BUNGLE: Surprise! We're Death! REVIEWS: MR BUNGLE: The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo // BRING ME THE HORIZON: POST HUMAN:SURVIVAL HORROR // ALPHA WOLF: a quiet place to die // JINJER: Alive In Melbourne // KILLER BE KILLED: Reluctant Hero
Anty Horgan–also known by the exclamatory mononym of ANTY!–laughs incredulously as he lights a cigarette in his Melbourne home. He's talking, of course, about the year that was–a year where his band, The Bennies, were set to play their final show on (when else) April 20 before he embarked on an intrepid adventure with his solo project. Of course, none of that got to happen–meaning The Bennies never got their proper send-off, and ANTY!'s album Rudeboy is only coming out now after multiple delays.
"I know I'm not alone in thinking it, but the whole thing was just shit," he says. "Usually, I like to say that every year has its ups and downs–but this year felt like it was mostly down. My housemate, Brad, copped it especially bad this year. He was supposed to be away every weekend of the whole year as a guitar tech, and that all came crashing down. With the shutdown of live music, it's been pretty different for crew. At least bands could make music at home, or make new shirts or whatever to keep it afloat. The road crew got lost in the conversation a lot of the time, which sucks."
After a year where everyone's plans went into disarray, Horgan hopes that the release of Rudeboy sends the year out with a bit of positivity. His debut solo record is one he's been tweaking and toying with for quite some time–"I didn't know if it was even gonna come out," he reasons, "so there was a lot less pressure in making it." The end result is a record that blends Horgan's love of reggae and dancehall with boom-bap hip-hop and plunderphonics to create one of his most unique musical efforts to date.
"I remember sending the record over to Vinnie [Fiorello], who used to drum in Less Than Jake," says Horgan. "I wasn't sure about it, so I sent it to him for some advice and we had a chat about it. I asked, straight up, 'is it any good'? He was like, 'It doesn't matter–it sounds like you. It's got your passion, and it's got your drive. That's all that it needs.' That was pretty cool, and I think I really needed to hear that."
Ahead of the album's release, here's a guided tour of Rudeboy–care of the man himself.
Dancehall Massacre
That song was funny. I had a little spot where I was really into dancehall for a little bit. I was talking to Snes [Mega], who DJs in The Bennies, and I asked him to make me this dancehall beat. Dancehall rhythms are pretty weird–it's more about the vocals that go on the top. When he sent it through, I thought it was perfectly weird and wacky. I love it as an intro to the album–it kind of reminds me of N*E*R*D, in a way.
The Anty Affliction
I was originally going to call this entire project The Anty Affliction. I thought it was really funny, but then I remembered making the same mistake with The Bennies. Before we were called The Bennies, we were called Madonna. Obviously, that didn't end well. I still wanted to use that pun, though–and this track ended up being perfect for it. The whole song is just a reflection on this whole project's creative outlook, so it was a pretty apt title.
One Step Beyond (Two Back)
When Melbourne had a little break between its two lockdowns, I had the chance to hit the studio and put that one together. It ended up being the last thing to be recorded for the entire album. I've always loved the original–Madness made One Step Beyond famous, but it was originally this old Prince Buster song. I got to do the beat with this guy from Japan, Sparka, who's a legend. He's a pretty wacky, talented dude. I just wanted the song to be both super high energy and also a reflection on not being in a great place. I think it was the best choice to lead the album with, it's really reflective of what I was going for.
Eternal Safari
That was done with this dude Ethan [Del Carmen] from Tassie. He plays in Phat Meegz. I've always loved that dude–he's got a lot of soul, and he's really gritty with the way he goes about stuff. We did that song a while ago, and it's got a good fucken vibe. It's real fun. He wanted to write this song about being just destroyed on tour. He was coming from more of a music festival perspective, but I wanted to talk about my own experiences on tour. I snuck in a few Bennies references, so keep an ear out for that.
With the shutdown of live music, it's been pretty different for crew. At least bands could make music at home, or make new shirts or whatever to keep it afloat. The road crew got lost in the conversation a lot of the time, which sucks.
[ ANTY! ]
Partyboy Moonstomp
That was written ages and ages ago. I love the idea of remixing these old reggae songs–the beats are already dancey anyway, y'know? I love how the old reggae guys would just toast over the top of these songs that already existed. It's a ballsy move. I wanted to give that my own modern take, and just not really think about it too much. It's just a super dancey party song!
Noxious Weed
… yeah, look, I just straight up wanted to just write a song about smoking choof. [laughs] It's too easy, I know, but I really enjoy writing songs about smoking weed. It feels natural to me. The beat was made by this guy Francis, who did sound for The Bennies whenever we toured in the UK and Europe. Whenever we had some downtime the last time we were over there, we'd shoot the shit on ideas. He's sent me a few songs, and I'm working on the others now, but I was really drawn to this one. I loved the idea of doing a song with no chorus, just flowing straight through. You know the song I Wanna Get High by Cypress Hill? I know it doesn't sound the same, but I wanted to replicate that kind of vibe.
The Bennies had the song Corruption, which was very anti-authority and discussed how fucked the police force was. With Officer, I wanted to tap into the idea of anti-authoritarianism requires us to love one another. It's one thing to say "fuck authority," but it's another to acknowledge there's a degree of responsibility that comes with that attitude. I'd already put that song out a while ago, but when the Black Lives Matter movement kicked off again in the middle of the year it had a whole new framework. I'd touched on some pretty topical stuff without really trying. It felt cool.
The beat was made by this guy Deacon, who used to play drums in AJJ. I only met him the once at Poison City Weekender, and he was just the funniest dude. It was this brief interaction, but we kept in touch online and I later found out he makes beats. I wanted to do something a bit different and weird, so he sent me a bunch of stuff that he'd been working on. They were pretty all over the place, but I wanted to make them work so I gave them all a go. I landed on this one, which I thought was so cool, but I just couldn't think of anything for ages. One night, in the middle of iso, I'd had too much to drink and had the house to myself. I had a crack at trying to say what was on my mind.
I'd been listening to a lot of Kae Tempest, who is this British poet that has these really cool spoken word songs. I really wanted to do something like that. I woke up in the morning the day after and listened back, and I honestly had no recollection of what I'd said or what I'd done the night before. Somehow, though, I'd managed to do it–I'd captured the vibe.
Skunky Kingston
That's a Toots song–he died this year, which was really upsetting for me. The thing with him was that he was such a vibe-lord. There was so much personality in his music. That one is probably the closest to the original out of all the samples on the record. I felt a bit weird about it at first, but it's really good-time fun. That's what I feel about Toots' music, y'know? He was so influential, and such a character. There was so much soul to what he did. It felt real cool to pay tribute to that. It's what he would have wanted. Fuck being down! Turn up the party!
Confession to Diary
That one was really easy. It felt really fun and really natural. Jay, who plays bass in the band Hightime, made the beat for that one. Initially he sent over this full song, and it was really fun to rap over and sing over. It went through a few different versions before it ended up as this short little banger that you hear on the record. Basically, the song is about how I woke up one morning and said to myself that there is stuff that I should change in my life. Y'know how people think you should write down your thoughts before you go to sleep or just after you wake up? That's what I was trying to do with this.
Like Woah
I really love this song. It was recorded kinda weirdly, and there's so many mistakes–at one point, you can even hear me counting myself in. I love it, though. It's another track I did with Ethan. He was like, "We gotta do a trap reggae song together." I was all for it–it sounded like a sick vibe. What we ended up with kind of sounded like Soundcloud rap or something, but I still really liked it. Once again, it's a song about smoking weed. [laughs] It's a bit silly and fun – I like it.
This is the song that I probably feel the most vulnerable about. It feels like a really different tone to the rest of the record. Obviously, the beat is a remix of the Stranger Themes opening theme. It's kind of tough, almost like it's gangsta rap or something–it's pretty unrelenting, and there isn't much melody to it. At the same time, though, I would say it's the most positive song on the whole album. When I listen back to it, I feel a little bit uncomfortable when I hear some of the lyrics. I think that's a good thing, though. I'm proud of myself for pushing through that and getting it on the album.
Keys to the City
I did this one with Paul The Kid, from New Zealand. He really loves dance music, but he also has a background in ska so we've been talking about this one for awhile now. I was a bit unsure about it at first, but once we added the horns in I feel like the song really stepped up. It's a reflection on being in a band and getting to meet people from other places, from overseas. You get to talk shit and have fun. One of the best things about this album is that it features contributions from all over the world. I think that's fucking cool. We all met through music, so why don't we fucking make more of it together?
Uptown Top Ranting
So, there's a band called 10 Foot Ganja Plant … first off, how good is that? [laughs] It's the other band of the keyboard player of The Aggrolites. They're all instrumental, and they're this amazing band. Their rhythms are so fucking tough. I took one of their songs and got it remixed, and got some more keys added to the top. We turned into more of a straight hip-hop song, really. It's a song about my desire to make music, and the challenges that come with it.
The song title is a play on Uptown Top Ranking, which is one of my favourite reggae songs by Althea & Donna. I took the hook from the song–"Give me little bass/Make me whine up me waist"–as a bit of a tribute.
The Disco in the Comedown
It's exactly as it sounds. It's detailing the darkness of coming down. I wanted it to be a bit janky; to have it kind of smack you around a bit. There's not heaps to the song itself, but that was kind of the point. That song by The Streets, "Sharp Darts," off the first record [Original Pirate Material]… it's really repetitive, right, and it verges on annoyance. Basically, I wanted to do that. [laughs] I think it's a nice contrast at the end of the record. I wanted to ease things off towards the end–you can pass out right about now, I reckon. [laughs]
I think this might be my favourite song. Whenever I play this song live, I introduce it as a song that I wrote for myself. I can feel down at times, but it's worth remembering, in the grand scheme of things, life's been good to me. You've gotta keep on. Things will change. Change is a constant. I wanted to reflect on that and talk on that. Normally, with The Bennies, there's this pressure that the songs have to be super upbeat all the time. I've gotta get in everyone's face and scream a lot, y'know? I feel like Keep On has confidence just in the space that it takes up–and that's why it's my favourite.

century—a mantle inherited by New York—and declares the model unfit for purpose in the twenty-first. Despite an apparent recrudescence of the nation state, the capital city as power base looks increasingly like a tribal relic, as digital technology rewires humans and our shared fate is thrown into stark relief by one ecological disaster after another. With the inexorable spread of the urban, pockets of sustainable business practice and hipster lifestyles suggest global capitalism is mutating from the inside, lured by the promise of an acephalic future.
The Good Reader is a series that addresses reading, as both virtue and duty. The editor invites authors she considers to be good readers. She agrees with Nabokov that a good reader, a major reader, an active and creative reader, is a re-reader. Hampton's book is the seventh in the series to date.
